Picking the right distribution doesn't save you from the "security is a way of life" principle, though. Maintaining an enterprise-critical server needs time, diligence, and a lot of boring work. It also requires infrastructure that, to a certain extent, is self-healing at the cost of performance and optimization (ie: think RAID where you have slight performance degradation and loss of storage capability for redundancy).
This makes sense. Good thing I'm not the system administrator (and just a software developer). ;) But then as architect, it's still my job to recommend the software and hardware so it seems that my top three (in varying orders depending on my mood) will still be: Debian, RHEL/Centos, SuSE. And it looks like it's going to take a lot more time for Ubuntu on the server to win a spot on my top list. Thanks Jijo! :) -- Dean Michael C.
